In this photograph taken outdoors in front of a building made with unfired earth brick, possibly in the town of Tinta, Chambi portrays a large group of campesinos. They are dressed in the traditional Andean manner: the men wear ponchos, half-leg trousers (buchis) and boots or sandals (ojotas), while the women sport a combination of a skirt with an ornate hem (pollera) and a short cape (lliclla) that also covers the head, fastened under the chin with a long pin called tupu. Under the capes are the jobona, buttoned jackets richly decorated with embroidery and fabric inserts. Both women and men wear hats: some a montera, others a wide-brimmed hat of a more western shape. Many men wear it over a sash or a chullo. A man in the second row is the only one not wearing a poncho but a traditional jacket (chilico) decorated with embroidery, and also a wide lace sash (a material introduced by the Spanish).
